Dr. Eduardo Dolhun of Stanford reached out to TR to provide security
for this mission. The emphasis on security is highlighted by the recent
order by the Taliban to attack foreign aid workers. The team is
composed of veterans - former Army SF, former Navy Seals, former Army Infantry, and
former Marine.

Dr. Dolhun has a proprietary oral rehydration solution (ORS) called
Drip Drop that is used to treat cholera, dehydration, and disease. TR is
going to remote areas to, not only deliver the ORS solution, but train
people how to make it with locally available resources. Indigenizing the
solution is the end goal of this mission, so that those that TR trains are less
of a burden on the already stretched thin government and NGOs. Dolhun is
Mayo Clinic trained and educated, and he deployed with TR in Haiti. He
is an expert at treating cholera so TR's mission matches up well with the
conditions on the ground. TR is carrying enough solution to treat up
to 8,000 refugees. Dolhun wants to identify a solid partner on the
ground so more ORS can be shipped in after TR's departure.

I believe that Hugh Hewitt will have an exclusive with Team Rubicon who will be on his show live from Pakistan.

Uber Pig was an Infantryman from late 1991 until early 1996, serving with Second Ranger Battalion, I Corps, and then 25th Infantry Division. At the time, the Army discriminated against enlisted soldiers who wanted use the "Green to Gold" program to become officers, so he left to attend Stanford University. There, he became expert in detecting, avoiding, and surviving L-shaped ambushes, before dropping out to be as entrepreneurial as he could be. He is now the founder of a software startup serving the insurance and construction industries, and splits time between Lake Tahoe, Boonville, and San Francisco, CA.

Uber Pig writes for Blackfive a) because he's the proud brother of an enlisted Civil Affairs Reservist who currently serves in Iraq, b) because he looks unkindly on people who make it harder for the military in general, and for his brother in particular, to succeed at their missions and come home in victory, and c) because the Blackfive readers and commenters help keep him sane.
